Description
Summary:The following is the editor's summary of the Pre-symposium workshop on Contemporary Assessment of Technologies presented at the Symposium on Molecular Approaches to Laboratory Diagnosis at San Francisco in February 1995. This workshop was moderated by Dr Joel M. Palefsky, and Dr Michael P. Busch. We have briefly summarized the presentations by: (1) Dr Indira Hewlett of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration entitled «Technology overview»; (2) Dr John J. Sninsky of Roche Molecular Systems Inc. entitled «Polymerase Chain Reaction»; (3) Dr Terrance Walker of Becton Dickinson Research Center entitled «Strand Displacement Amplification»;(4) Dr Mickey Urdea of Chiron Corporation entitled «bDNA assay» and (5) Dr Robert H. Singer of University of Massachussets Medical Center entitled «Image analysis of in situ hybridization». Although it was not possible to list all the references to the primary literature, we have attempted to provide the key references as far as possible.
